Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

A difficult yoke is a metaphor for very difficult labor and cruel treatment. Alternate translation: “treated us cruelly” or “forced us to work very hard”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism
(Occurrence 0) make your father’s hard work easier, and lighten the heavy yoke that he put on us
(Some words not found in UHB: I_will_show=you(ms) heavy DOM yoke,our and=now lighten from,service I_will_show=you(ms) the,hard and,from,yoke,his the,heavy which/who he/it_gave on,us and,serve,you )
These two phrases mean the same thing. The yoke metaphor emphasizes the fact that Solomon had treated them harshly. Alternate translation: “make the hard work that your father gave us easier, and do not treat us as harshly as he did” (See also: figs-metaphor)
